People who only support sports teams that recently win championships and then claim they liked that team all along. These people can be highly annoying, approaching them may result in increased levels of stress and aggression. Frontrunners may claim they have a relative or were born in the state where the winning team is from. Do not trust them at any cost.

A front runner is 90% of Dallas Cowboys fans. Most have never even stepped foot in the state, let alone the stadium.

Dig'm- "Hey Gulmers, why do you like the Cowboys again?"
George Jr.- "Because I'm a front runner from the 90's!"
George III- "Because my dad's a front runner and I want to grow up to be just like him!"
Dig'm- "Outta' here LOSERS!"
